Car air conditioning is powered by the generator. Below is a detailed introduction to the components of the car air conditioning system: 1. Air conditioning pressure sensor: Usually installed after the dryer, it is used to detect the hydraulic pressure of the liquid refrigerant flowing through the expansion valve. There are three wires: detecting high and low pressure. When a car collision causes refrigerant leakage and compressor oil loss, to prevent compressor damage due to lack of oil, the compressor power is quickly cut off once low pressure is detected. When high pressure is detected, the compressor power needs to be reduced to avoid wasted work. 2. Air conditioning temperature sensor: Typically located inside the temperature sensing package, it is the evaporator temperature sensor. When the cooling reaches a certain level, the compressor needs to be shut down to prevent frost formation and eventual ice blockage. 3. Air conditioning compressor relay: Generally installed on the compressor, it controls the start, stop, and power switching functions of the compressor.

Why is the car engine so noisy?

Here are the specific reasons why a car engine is very noisy: 1. Aging or loosening of engine mounts: Engine mounts are rubber blocks placed between the engine and the car frame. Their function is to reduce vibration and cushion the engine during operation, as well as to secure the engine. If the engine mounts age or become loose, the engine will shake, resulting in abnormal noises. 2. Engine misfire noise: An engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders not working properly. This is usually manifested by obvious intermittent exhaust gas flow from the car, along with severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, and a clear abnormal noise from the engine can be heard.

How to Adjust the Seat for Subject 2?

Subject 2 seat adjustment requires attention to the following key points: 1. Seat Height Adjustment: When adjusting the seat, ensure there is at least a fist's distance between your head and the car roof to avoid hitting your head when the car bumps. 2. Seat Backrest Adjustment: Adjust the angle between the seat and backrest to 100°-110°. A 110° angle means sitting upright with two fists' distance between your lower back and the backrest. 3. Seat Front-Rear Adjustment: While adjusting, hold the steering wheel at the 9 o'clock position with your arms slightly bent. Ensure you can see all the interior views comfortably with the steering wheel. 4. Headrest Adjustment: The headrest position is crucial. If not adjusted properly, inertia may cause your head to hit the headrest. Both excessively high and low headrest positions can cause varying degrees of injury.

What Causes Fogging on Car Windows in Summer?

The reason for fogging on car windows in summer is due to the low temperature setting of the car's air conditioning, which creates a large temperature difference, and the incorrect direction of the air conditioning airflow. Use Anti-Fog Spray: Spray a small amount of anti-fog spray on the inner surface of the car windows and wipe it clean. This will remove dirt and stains from the windows while forming a thin, transparent protective film that effectively prevents the formation of fog caused by condensation. This method is particularly suitable for cold winters. Blow Cold Air for Convection: Turn on the air conditioning and direct cold air toward the front windshield. Using the air conditioning's dehumidification function, the fog on the windshield can be removed quickly. However, if the humidity is too high and the air conditioning is not effective enough, slightly opening the window can help rapidly reduce the humidity inside the cabin.

Where to Add Transmission Oil for BAIC Senova?

The transmission oil filling port for BAIC Senova is located at the bottom of the transmission. There are two screw ports in this position - one is the drain plug screw and the other is the fill plug screw. After unscrewing the fill plug, you can add transmission oil. Here is additional information: 1. It should be noted that when replacing new transmission oil, the old transmission oil needs to be completely drained first. Loosen the screw to let the dirty oil flow out completely, wipe the drain port clean, tighten the screw back, and then you can add new transmission oil. 2. The replacement cycle for transmission oil is two years or 60,000 kilometers. The replacement cycle of transmission oil is calculated in the same way as the car maintenance cycle, mainly based on the vehicle's mileage and usage time, but it also needs to be determined according to the actual usage condition of the vehicle. Function of transmission oil: Transmission oil mainly serves to lubricate and clean. During operation, it can protect the transmission and extend its service life. The quality of transmission oil directly affects the working efficiency of the transmission. It also has certain antioxidant properties, which to some extent reduces component corrosion.

Why is there water leaking under the car?

Water dripping under the car is a normal phenomenon. Here are the specific reasons for water dripping under the car: 1. Air conditioning condensation: Dripping occurs after running the air conditioning for a while, which is normal. This happens because during air conditioning operation, moisture in the cabin condenses on the evaporator to form water droplets, which are then discharged outside the vehicle through the drain pan and drain pipe. 2. Exhaust emissions: When gasoline is injected into the cylinder and mixed with air, it fully combusts in the combustion chamber, primarily producing carbon dioxide and water. Some of this water is emitted into the atmosphere as gaseous water vapor at high temperatures, while some is discharged in liquid form.
